   About ALBINo MoNK
  • ALBINo MoNK are a 4 piece Alt rock band from Glasgow Scotland. The band formed in late 2006 when French madman Mathieu met rhythmic mentalist Govan via mutual friends. Very quickly they realized they had many things in common.
  • They gelled over a love of conspiracy theories, math rock, and fine french wines and started a band known as “just nothing", and started to jam to see if ideas would flow.
  • They enlisted various musicians to join them on their quest for crooked time signatures unusual tunings the use of samplers and other gadgetry. It took them a long time to find the right people, but after a year of hard work they finally met like-minded musicians, angular chop freak Jonny B and Yamahoon bass master Justin, and started ALBINo MoNK.
  • Within a couple of months they had a solid set and played at Gumbo fest music festival in the Scottish borders. Since then they’ve never looked back and have played an array of gigs across Scotland and are currently gigging, and working on their debut album to be released in late 2009.
  • So far we have played with up and comers Youves, the mighty Super Adventure club, Glasgow’s finest gypsies Punch and the Apostles, Irish playboys Black Alley Screens, The funky Velcro Quartet , the very sexy Katie and the Dull Fudds, and French rock power house Billy Gaz Station to name but a few…
